Tambling Dice

Irrespective of what the stats relate to, I found it extremely pleasing to see Jordan Henderson in the relegation zone.

Missed the boat this time round (Held back on the raunchy posters...entertaining film though..thought provoking plot coupled with superb staging)

All seems very quiet in Kai corner...hopefully they're busy counting the money....

Excellent footballer who can lead by example maybe. Not sure he's the ball breaking vocal presence we need though. His captaincy of Brazil didn't go too well as I recall.

Or drop the Athletico board an "Oblakhander"

Noble thoughts however I suspect Command & Control are the way things get finalised under Roman's tenure.

So he was...should have checked before attempting smart remarks.

Apparently Arteta has been sniffing around...revisiting the 7-1 partnership is a possibility then. Notwithstanding it'll be a tad disappointing if we can't find a space for him for a year or two.

Very impressive again...great shop window for him. I'm sure he'll be snapped up pretty soon.

What for? Finishing last in the pre-season sprint sessions?

Really impressive tonight but lets see how he does against PSG before we get too excited.

Granted only one game but didn't display any of the leadership qualities we sorely need... Total whinge-bucket. Hope this is one that goes away.

Suurbier, Rijsbergen, Haan & Krol, the 1974 Dutch backline wasn't too shabby...although the keeper was a little unorthodox as I recall. As a young'un had never seen defenders actually 'play' until then and Krol in particular was majestic. I guess they were a little too soft when compared to some of the hard bastards posted here but they were effective and good to watch.

Enjoyed reading that...forgot how good they were to watch..... Remember sitting in a bar on holiday in Majorca watching the 92 Euros final with my new wife and daughter, bar full of Germans naturally...all expecting an easy win...first tournament post unification I think it was. All surprised how good they were. Great to watch...even the missus enjoyed it.

Heard Kai referred to earlier as the German Dele Alli.. Jeez I hope he has significantly more battery life than that comparison.
